Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Receives Follow-on Contract From Japan Ministry of Defense

FALLS CHURCH, Va., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company announced today that it has received a Japan Ministry of Defense contract, through Mitsubishi Corporation, for the supply of two ship sets of RAST Mark VI systems to be integrated on-board the new Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force 21DD destroyer platform.

Indal Technologies, a business unit of Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company, based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, will perform work for this contract with the delivery to the Japan Ministry of Defense scheduled for late 2011.

"Curtiss-Wright is very pleased to continue its support of the Japan Ministry of Defense's Maritime Staff Office and to be a part of this continuing high profile ship program," said David Linton, President of Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company and Co-Chief Operating Officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.  "The supply of the RAST Mark VI system demonstrates our engineering expertise in providing advanced performance and innovative design solutions to meet mission-critical requirements, and in so doing, deliver profound value to our customer."

The RAST Mark VI is a hybrid system that builds on the well-established and high performance capabilities of the RAST system, currently in operation with the Japanese, Canadian, U.S., Australian, Spanish and Taiwanese navies. It incorporates selected features and capabilities from the more advanced Aircraft Ship Integrated Secure and Traverse (ASIST) system also produced by Curtiss-Wright Flow Control.  The resulting hybrid system provides improved capabilities and functionality with reduced footprint and weight relative to earlier RAST systems.
